It’s All About the Ooooooooooo…
I love shopping at Overstock.com. I have bought various things from them over the years – cordless phones, a computer keyboard, little things here and there. Some of the deals can’t be beat, you just have to look for them.
However, I hate their new TV ad campaign. With a passion. I [...]
I Just Want to Be…
I suppose it is wrong of me to sit here and listen to Andy Gibb sing “I Just Want to Be Your Everything” over and over again, isn’t it? I could at least launch Rhapsody and listen to some of his other music. Or go and get a Bee Gees CD and listen [...]
Big Pink Cookie… in Paris
WHEEEEE!!! Notice anything different? I’ve been Moxie-fied! This has been in the works, but we weren’t ready to launch it, which is why the snow angel stayed in place as long as it did. Isn’t it ADORABLE? Christina is absolutely fabulous to work with – mad props to her! [...]
Pins Dropping…
It is quiet around here. So quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Not that I don’t have things going on, but they all seem so … routine. I guess I should not complain about that though.
I went downtown yesterday for a doctor’s appointment. Every time I go downtown, I’m surprised [...]
Boba Fate…
Send a picture of your bubble tea, send a picture of the boba floating in your tea, and send it on to Boba Fate to receive your fortune. We don’t need no stinkin’ tea leaves. [via Meredith]
Almost makes me want to go back to Tropioca with Kathy to get some Bubble Tea. [...]
Special Freshness…
I used a ThermaCare heating pad on my shoulder the other day, and while it worked well, I couldn’t help but think every time I looked at it that it looked like I had a feminine hygiene product on my shoulder. Mmm… fresh as a springtime blossom…
I’ll Just Stop…
I was tempted to complain about the weather and how it is freakin’ cold here again (it’s now 40 and it was 80 the other day), but then I turned on the news. Then I read a few blogs. Yeah…
I think I’ll shut up and not complain about our near freezing temps after [...]
Mmmm… Feed Me…
I just discovered this free RSS to HTML PHP Script. I’m all about the free, and it looks like it could be useful for some future project.
Speaking of projects, last night we went to Kathy and Tom’s house, and I was smart and brought the yarn I bought to make Kathy a scarf. [...]
Damn It.
I work from home. For the first time in many years, I should not have to worry about the annual crud that seems to go around this time of year. I should be safe.
Am I safe from it? Nooooo…
Mike and Jason seem to think it is nice to pick these things [...]
I’m Ready!
I’m all set. I finally found where I put my “Stitch ‘N Bitch” book – right on the bookcase where I could easily find it, and then couldn’t find it for 2 weeks. (It was by the CDs, the only book there, and sort of hidden behind the side of the bookcase, and [...]
The President’s Challenge…
I have started a “Five in ‘05″ group for the The President’s Challenge. If you log in 5 days worth of activities for 6 out of 8 weeks, you will earn the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award. Not only that, but I’m going to figure out prizes to send to people along the way [...]
Ooooh… Scary!
Every time I watch The Amazing Race I wonder … why do they continue to use the completely non-scary tiger in the opening credits? Because that was probably one of the lamest challenges to date. Those tigers were in a coma. The one and only tiger that even moved is in the [...]
Weapon of Mass Homosexual Behavior…
US laboratory proposed weapon to stimulate homosexual behavior.
“One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior,” the proposal pointed out.
Proving once again that some people think you can just turn the gay switch off and on again. At least they don’t consider the homosexual [...]
Banned Books I Love…
“Everything I really need to know about life I learned by reading banned books.”
My Mom called me last week to ask what books are banned. I said, “a lot of good ones.” That seemed like an insufficient response though, so I thought I would look up some of the banned books (from the [...]
Cockoozees?
Knitting and crocheting has taken over our house recently. (Gee, bet you never would have guessed…) While pondering things that I can make and new domain names to show off crafty items at, I finally hit on a fabulous domain name that wasn’t registered.
SimplyTwisted.org
It is now mine. All mine. Mike [...]
Another Loss…
As I noted at Smaller Pink Cookie, I’ve lost another 3 pounds, putting this month’s total up to 6 pounds. There is room for improvement though, and I’ll be working on that list in the weeks ahead…
Knit, Purl… How?
To continue with my knitting theme, which method do you use? Continental or Throw Method? I’ve TiVo’d the latest episodes of Knitty Gritty and watching them knit helps it all seem so much clearer.
Then again, actually getting out the yarn and needles would probably help too… If only I could find where [...]
Purge, Purge, Purge!
When we moved into the house, I felt like I was moving things that I didn’t really need – but I was all out of time to purge anything more. The rest of 2004 was just … craaaaazy. Now it’s a new year, and I’m full of new resolutions – one of which [...]
Yesterday…
Yesterday was a rather fabulous day. Matter of fact, most of this week has been pretty good. I’ve been busy cranking things out for work, and doing tons of housework organizing things. I love it when the house is clean, and we’ve been working on systems to keep it that way. [...]
Charlie Harper Sucks!
Normally when you watch TV shows and they show internet related (or really computer related) stuff on the show, the get it all wrong. I normally mock them for getting it so wrong. Finally, someone got it right! Two and a Half Men had an episode a few weeks ago where, thanks [...]
